- Peasants revolted because the Bolsheviks were still requsitioning, though the war was over.

- The most serious revolt was led by Alexander Antonov in the Tambov region, where peasants recated violently to a requisitioning brigade in 1920. The Red Army tried to fight them for a year.

- The peasants supported Kronstadt, many of whom were ex-peasants themselves, and remaining members of the Green army, who proved extremely difficult for Moscow or the Red Army to deal with. The peasant revolts were said to be worse than those of the White armies put together.
